    The dude in the skinning sample was modelled, textured, skinned, and animated entirely in Maya if I remember right. We exported him using the latest version of the FBX exporter plugin from Autodesk (not the one that ships built in to Maya, beacuse that was quite old, so we downloaded the latest release instead), and that was that: we didn't have to do any manual editing or hacking around after the export.

    Maya 8.5 ships with an fbx exporter built in but you may need to load it through the plug-in manger. Don't know if there is a newer one out there, but the one that ships with Maya 8.5 is only like 6 months old it should work fine. Go to the plug-in manager in Maya and make sure fbxmaya.mll is loaded.

    The example used Maya 8.5 as well. You can get the latest version of the FBX Plugins from this site: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=6839916 As mentioned above you'll need to activate them through the Plug-in manager in Maya after you install.
